Whether you prefer traveling by land or sea, I can help make your trip special and stress-free. I worked for a cruise-only company for ten years and for Dan Hotels of Israel so I understand the industry from many insider vantage points.

If you’re looking for a way to combine a lot of destinations into a week or two, cruising is a wonderful option. It makes getting from place to place fun, with no wasted time checking in and out of hotels or waiting in airports. Plus, most of the most important cities grew up as ocean or river ports, because for centuries, the waterways were the most important highways.

I’ve been a group leader on many cruises, so I know cruising both as a passenger and from behind the scenes. I’m also familiar with most ports of call and can help can help you select the best ship and the best way to explore each port, based on your personal interests. As an added benefit, when a Tzell agent like me plans your trip, you get some great benefits that aren’t available to those who book directly, including VIP benefits like shipboard credits that can be used towards excursions, free Wi-Fi and/or other value-adds, depending on the cruise line.

On the other hand, if you’re looking to spend several days or a week in a destination, delving deeper into a city or simply relaxing, I can help you select hotels, villas, resorts or even glamping properties that best suit your style. Here too, I can usually provide complimentary amenities, and in some cases, upgrades to a higher room category.

Do you want to come face-to-face with a sloth in Costa Rica? Learn to dance the tango in Argentina? Join an archaeological dig in Israel? Or would like to learn to cook a traditional Japanese meal and see the ancient temples of Kyoto? With my experience and network of contacts, I can help you live out the experiences of your dreams.
